MANCOVA results and partial η2-values for the relationship between lower pharyngeal jaw (LPJ) weight, δ15N, and body depth index (BDI) across all ten color polymorphic populations. In all ecological traits a substantial amount of the variance is due to differences in evolutionary history (factor “evolutionary replicate”). However, across all traits a larger portion of the variance is explained by color (factor "color") rather than population-specific effects (factor “color x evolutionary replicate”). This corroborates our previous findings of a relatively parallel ecological divergence based on color across the species complex
